I’m Twirling with the Corioliss Curling Wand

While I’m lucky to have pretty low-maintenance hair, I do enjoy dressing it up with some loose curls every once in awhile. My weapon of choice is usually a 1.5 inch curling iron, but something else came across my radar a few months back.

I’m reviewing the Corioliss 18mm Curling Wand today. It’s a clipless curling iron, which I’ve never worked with prior to this one.

The wand comes nestled in a sturdy cardboard box. The package also contains a heat-proof glove so that you don’t burn yourself. Personally, I feel like you would be more likely to burn your arm than your hand, so I always wear a long-sleeve jacket on top of the glove. Given my track record, I really can’t be too careful 😀

I was impressed that the wand heated up in about 1-2 minutes, a huge improvement on my Conair curling iron. There’s only one heat setting, but I always turn my styling tools up to the highest setting, so it’s not a big deal for me. One thing that did bug me a little was the lack of an indicator light, but since this heats up so quickly, I’m guessing they thought it wouldn’t be necessary.

The wand has a smooth swivel cord, enabling me to easily switch angles when I’m curling different sections of my hair. The curl I get with this is completely different than the curl I get with a ‘traditional’ curling iron. I’m able to produce a number of different curl styles with this wand, from small ringlets to tousled waves. It all depends on how large my hair sections are, and how closely I wrap them around the curler (which I point in the general upside-down direction).

Here are a couple of different looks I did. Purple umbrella included for face-blocking purposes:

The Corioliss 18 mm Curling Wand retails for $99.99. So far, I’ve only dabbled with drugstore curling irons, which run for about $20-40. I do think that this is a quality curling iron, and the biggest difference between this curler and the one I own is the significant difference in heat-up time. I also feel that it curls more efficiently, and it allows me to try a range of curl sizes.

One last thing I wanted to address is Misikko’s customer service. The company really goes the extra mile by personalizing each and every package with extra goodies. I received a mix of doodads, from Corioliss hair serum to an eye mask to a heat-proof pouch for my curling wand (with a nice big bow, I might add). It made me feel quite giddy to open up the box and find a whole host of little gifts inside, and who doesn’t love that feeling?

Oh, and one more thing. If you were wondering how I look twirling with the Curling Wand, here I am:

Ultimately, it really depends on whether you’re used to working with high-end hair tools or not. I feel that heat tools are a more common area for people to splurge on, and if so, this one is a worth a look. While my less expensive curling iron does a fine job, there’s no denying that this one works even better. I’m not sure that I would personally spend $100 on a curling iron, but it’s mostly because I don’t curl my hair every day. And once again, I do think that they’re a good company to order from, as I was quite impressed with the customer service.

Avada kedavra to bad hair days! The Corioliss curling wand sounds like a winner. I had cheap and expensive curling irons before and I can vouch for the expensive ones. They worth the money, don’t burn your hair, and make your curls last a lot longer.

Your hair looks so pretty and lustrous! I also like the purple umbrella…hee hee. 😛 My curler is collecting dust (that’s how often I curl my hair…lol) so while it sounds like a fab product, I probably won’t be getting one anytime soon. Gotta love that last pic…haha!
